Concept | The Panamera model range
As you can see, we didn’t experi-
ment with the car’s design. We
stuck with our philosophy that form
should follow function. Nothing
else would have made sense.
Nothing else would have produced
a four-seater Porsche.
But how can you tell whether it
has the Porsche DNA? From the
distinctive proportions and lines
on all models. The wings are
slightly higher than the bonnet
and, at the rear, they are distinctly
muscular and form the typical
Porsche shoulder line. The silhou-
ette of the Panamera models is
therefore typically Porsche. It is
dynamic without being overbear-
ing, and exudes elegance rather than extravagance. In its class,
the total length of less than five
metres is to its advantage. The
front, shoulders, and rear all have
instantly recognisable Porsche
traits. Particularly striking are the
side air outlets behind the front
wheels – paying homage to
the Carrera GT. The result is a
timeless exterior, a spacious
interior and excellent aerody-
namics: the Panamera S models
have a drag coefficient of 0.29,
the Panamera models and the
Panamera Turbo 0.30.
A low, wide stance. A sleek roof-
line. The overall impression leaves
you in no doubt that these are true
sportscar proportions. Typically
Porsche. And yet, when you get
in, you’ll wonder how there can
possibly be so much room. We’ll
come to that on the pages that
follow.
Unmistakably Porsche and yet
characteristically Panamera is
the headlight design (p. 80). The
headlights on the Panamera Turbo
are supplemented by the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
(p. 83).
Position lights and daytime run-
ning lights with LED technology
on all Panamera models add a
special touch.
The wheels are of classic sports-
car design: fine-spoked, light-
weight, and stylish. Sizes range
from 18 inches to an optional
20 inches, and all the wheels pro-
vide a good glimpse of the brake
system. Just another example
of sporty styling.
If you loved the road,
you wouldn’t dream of tarnishing it.
